General Meetings

The Capilano Students’ Union is holding our annual general meeting and we need you to help shape our future!

A general meeting is the highest decision-making body of the CSU. It is a chance for CSU members (Capilano students) to have a direct say in how the organization is run. In order to be valid, we need to reach a quorum (minimum number of CSU members to make the meeting valid) of 75 students.

The meeting is taking place at 11:30am on Thursday, February  16, 2023 via Zoom.

If you would like to submit a petition to add an item to the meeting agenda, you must submit it in person to the CSU Library Lounge or by email to [email protected] at least 21 days before the general meeting at this it is to be considered. A paper petition template can be found here.
